From the campfire to the Red Carpet, members from all walks of life come together to share their gift and love of song. The chorus performs regularly at the Center, local events and has even been known to “pop up” in crowds around the holidays. The group meets weekly to rehearse; however, this group of friendly folks are known to keep in touch outside of rehearsals, too! Now that’s something to sing about!
